Point - a totalitarian society can move quicker - unencumbered by responsibility to the people - who are not governed by consent - but by the jack boot and rifle.
USSR put the first satellite up, and first man in space - but their technology was not ahead of the US . USSR never came close to landing on the moon - their unmanned moon shot at the time of our landing in 1069 was a failure .

well yeah, totalitarians can direct the resources of the state, to the detriment of the people, to some project, while the people suffer
people of a free state serve the people

Please correct me if I'm wrong but the jest of what yall are saying is the USSR went broke.
My biggest concern for this nation is DEBT. I've been very consistent about that.
So does at least one of you three see the irony in your posts concerning my post?
A nation in debt to the tune of 23 Trillion and not a single plan by either party to address that continuing growing deficits has posters in a whore board political forum laughing at a nation that had a spending problem. Does just one of you not see the irony? One, just one of you?
Now bambino , please respond in a civil manner if you wish to readdress me going forward.
